MAX Hall arrested for shoplifting, busted with cocaine

[PearlWatson]

That's not my whole quote. The sympathy I'm speaking of is in not incarcerating people for being drug addicts. That's the extent of the sympathy I was asking for.

What about for their ancillary crimes...like theft?

Yeah, theft should be legal...as long as you're a drug addict. Duh.

Sadly that is a platform you could probably get a solid number of people to rally for.

No it should not be legal but you cannot anger yourself over this thing because drug abusers advance science so end up with more. That what I said to make it clear.

Your use of "sympathy" led me to rehab vs. jail time, not legalization.

I should have considered the source.

Uhh...

So, you're suggesting that if someone plays football and receives a scholarship and/or payment for doing so that he should be immune to personal problems or perhaps mental health issues?

I'm saying people with fewer opportunities receive much less sympathy the vast majority of time. The single biggest reason Max is the subject of ridicule on one side and being put under the other side's blanket is because of those (amazing) opportunities.

I was also actually asking a question because I am not as (weirdly) connected to and knowledgeable about the personal life of a college quarterback of half a decade ago.

What do you mean "those"? Don't you mean "us"?

Good catch. I didn't mean to infer that I'm not a "classless tool" because I most certainly am.

All this from the guy who had a photo in his footer for years that identified everybody in Rice Eccles Stadium as "classless tools." Priceless.

But... You are... Ugh.

Apparently none of those "classless tools" suffer from any sort of addiction. If they did, Trout would have been the perfect gentleman.

Probably.

I talked to a guy who is a close friend of the Hall family yesterday. He explained to me how Max changed drastically for the negative when he was with the Cardinals (and presumably got hooked on drugs). He claims that Max turned into a major jerk (but his descriptive language was far more colorful than that), much the same way some people are impossible to be around if using alcohol.

Max and Dennis Pita married sisters, so as Dennis' career soared with a new $25 million contract, this guy believes that Max put even more negative pressure on himself, and that getting cut from a relatively low paying job in the CFL was just too much to take.

According to the guy I talked to, Max is currently in a rehab center and Dennis is paying the bills. Max's wife and kids are with her parents. He told me the monthly rehab cost (which is huge) and location, but he said the latest word is that Max is not progressing well.

As much as I despised Max for his anti-Utah rant, this story is heartbreaking. I hope he succeeds in turning his life around.
